“The air was crackling with enthusiasm… The night was so fun. Tharp reminds us all that at its core, dance should always be just that.” – Broadway World
Revolutionary choreographer Twyla Tharp returns to TITAS celebrating her 60th anniversary with a boundary-breaking program featuring a dynamic revival and two new pieces. Ocean’s Motion (1975) featuring music by rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry, and Brel is an homage to the Belgian vocalist Jacques Brel. Composer Simeon ten Holt’s signature minimalist style in Bi-Ba-Bo intermingles with Vivaldi’s Baroque score in masterful new work The Ballet Master.
Jubliant, often comic, and stunningly precise and musical choreography, this evening of dance is a shining example of Tharp’s signature technical precision and wit.
